Love is all around you like the air and is the very breath of your being. But you cannot know it, feel its unfeeling touch, until you pause in your busy-ness, are still and poised and empty of your wanting and desiring. When at rest the air is easily offended and will flee even from the fanning of a leaf, as love flees from the first thought. But when the air or love moves of its own accord it is a hurricane that drives all before it. |
... I value the experience I did have behind that desk because to make it in this business, you need the soul of an artist but the pulse of a bureaucrat. If you're waiting tables, waiting for your break, and you're not willing to come home every night after a long shift at the restaurant and stuff your head-shots and resumes into envelopes to send out to agents and managers, you're not going to make it. It's not going to happen for you. |

[Brian Hoffman, a 2005 graduate of Pearce High School in Richardson, was in New Orleans for five days to start his freshman year at Tulane University. He had already started practice with the Tulane March Band when the school issued an order to evacuate. So Hoffman, a pre-med student, will take classes at the University of Texas at Dallas.] It's just unreal. It's disappointing, ... and making sure we come back [to Tulane] in the spring. |
[In recent years, a small cottage industry has formed around ex-cabinet members writing their own memoirs of their time around the White House. Until about 25 years ago, these autobiographies were respectful of the man in the Oval Office.] They were laudatory, ... These people were proud to serve their great men. Kennedy's men -- (Ted) Sorensen, (Arthur) Schlesinger -- they loved him. They weren't about to betray him (in their memoirs). |
[Jerry Rice shouldn't bank on returning for an encore season with the 49ers. If the 42-year-old receiving great makes it known that he would like a ceremonial return preceding a retirement announcement,] it's something we would be very open to, ... But it is my understanding right now that those aren't his desires. Jerry still wants to test the market and see if someone is interested in having him on the team as a full-time participant. |
[Like I said, it's all about perspective. So now can you at least try to understand what caused Felipe Alou's visceral passion when he heard those hurtful words spill out of the radio?] I grew up in a time when people weren't afraid to fight or even risk dying to change things, ... But things are different today. People are so busy, and so compromised now that they are sometimes afraid to say or do anything when something wrong happens. |
[Other than those details, the proud mixed-ethnicity actress added that the game will concentrate on several ideals of great importance to her: racial tolerance, nonviolence, and geographical awareness.] I'm going to pick seven cities in the world, because I travel so much and I think there's so many cool, creative people in the world; I want tap into that, and I want to make it racially diverse, ... It's nonviolent; there's no killing. |
[The expectation was that this would be Jacobs's breakout season, and he entered training camp third on the depth chart. It remains to be seen whether he will even be healthy enough to enter Week 1 on the active roster, and the 24-year-old is desperate to return to practice next week.] It's kind of rough going, ... People are saying, 'Hallelujah, Taylor Jacobs is hurt, here we go again.' I just try to use the good times against the bad. |

A serious transformation is evident in the political sphere. From July of this year the treaty of 1994 is essentially no longer valid, and we have been engaged for three years in developing a new treaty. There is a variety of approaches, but still I do not believe that the diversity of the regions can be subsumed within a single codified legislation. That's why the practice of signing individual, specific agreements will have its place. |
Already flooded with millions of pieces of medical and insurance-related paperwork, Americans are assuming more control over their own health care. Currently 82 percent of American households are spending significant time organizing, filing and reconciling their health care information. We will break through that clutter of information and consolidate it, so consumers can be empowered to make the right decisions and save time and money. |
Although five European computer science professors have already confirmed that our documentation meets or exceeds industry standards, we are committed to doing everything in our power to address the Commission's concerns. These new documentation projects, together with free and unlimited technical support and access to Windows source code, will ensure that our competitors have all the assistance they need to make this Program effective. |
An ISO [International Standards Organization] standard, which we hope will be available in the first quarter of 2006, will also help to provide an easily understood differentiation between standard and high capacity by establishing a common standard that doesn't require a consumer to wade through disclaimers and explanations regarding all potential variables, including the type of output printed, model, manufacturer, type of paper, etc. |
And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? / And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: / And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. |
